I don't like that tips are a trick to make you think things are less expensive than they are. However, I see it as my duty since I'm lucky to be paid a lot for my job to share that prosperity with the people in my community. I would prefer that prices reflected their true cost, but in the meantime I'm not going to stop tipping because that is only hurting the workers and isn't fixing the core issue.
